The mechanism of motor inhibition by microtubule-associated proteins

L. S. Ferro, L. Eshun-Wilson, M. Golcuk, J. Fernandes, T. Huijben, E. Gerber, A. Jack, K. Costa, M. Gur, Q. Feng, E. Nogales, A. Yildiz

This study investigates how microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) regulate motor protein interactions, finding that MAPs inhibit motors without blocking their binding sites and that motors must interact with MAPs to move on MAP-coated microtubules.

SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein forms condensates with viral genomic RNA

A. Jack, L. S. Ferro, M. J. Trnka, E. Wehri, A. Nadgir, K. Costa, J. Schaletzky, A. Yildiz, X. Nguyenla, S. Stanley

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein forms condensates with viral RNA in vitro and in cells, driven by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.

Kinesin-1 and dynein use distinct mechanisms to bypass obstacles

L. S. Ferro, S. Can, M. A. Turner, M. M. Elshenawy, A. Yildiz

This study shows that dynein can bypass obstacles on microtubules, while single kinesin motors stall, but teams of kinesins can bypass obstacles as effectively as dynein teams.
